First: I don't have a problem myself, I have the solution for a problem of a lot of others.
[b][center]So what may be your issue/problem? You know lot's of plugins but many of them have problems with newer or older versions even if they are pretty similar.[/b][/center]
[color=#900000]
The solution? Ask the author for help and wait some hours, days, weeks or a year OR[/color]
[color=#FF0000][b]Rewrite it yourself! [/b][/color] [i]
You don't steal anything, we'll just change some names inside the files.[/i]
[color=#FF0000]Requirements:[/color]
[list]
[*]
WinRar, 7Zip, or Winzip[/*]
[*]A good and reliable file editor like Notepad++[/*]
[*]5-30min of your freetime[/*][/list]
[color=#FF0000]What should I do now? How do I get the .jar working?[/color]
[list]
[*]read all instructions first, then go trought them...[/*]
[*]Extract the subfiles from the .jar (it's like a .zip)[/*]
[*]Find your exact Craftbukkit version: Go into your bukkit/spigot/craftbukkit.jar and look into the /net folder, then into /minecraft and then /server... then you can see the version, sth like "v1_8_R3"[/*]
[*]Go into each folder and each important .class where a link to native minecraft code is located(if you can't decide that go into each file)[/*]
[*]Inside each of them look for sth like "v1_8_R3", replace if with your server version(in Notepad++ you can replace all in the second window of Control+F) Don't change anything else. Now save the file at the extracted location.[/*]
[*]Pack all files back into a .jar; don't miss anything![/*]
[*]Test this .jar; if there is still a error in your console contact the author or go sure you replaced every string![/*][/list]
[color=#FF0000]Specials (this list may be incomplete)[/color]
[list]
[*]Between 1.7.2 they changed some package names from net/minecraft/util/io/netty/ to io/netty/, be careful when changing then (tried to do this one time but failed maybe you get it better)[/*]
[*]Between big versions like 1.n and 1.n+1 there might be problems; ask the author if an error occurs after changing the package names[/*][/list]

[color=#FFC900][center][b]I hope this can help you [/b][/center][/color]
